This phone is inditructable!!!!! it has been crushed, kicked, drowned, and used as a hammer once, yet it still lives on!!!screen goes white a bit but that doen't happen if u dont do what i wrote. the video is not the best but is still pretty good. pictures are great. sound is a bit weak but good quality. out of all the phones at that price range i give it 10/10.
quite frankly brilliant. i strongly recommend it to any one who has a nack for dropping or breaking things. it won't break. trust me.

Truly excellent mobile phone! I have one since January 2008 & man it rocks and beat's the Nokia 6300 by miles in every area except the display, Nokia has 2 million versus 256K colours of Sony Ericsson K550i.

Other & versus features.

- the best 2MP camera with Autofocus currently available in the market.

- Great music player, crystal clear sound with thumping bass when used with walkman series headsets like HPM-75, also FM radio with RDS facility.

- K550i comes with Bluetooth supporting A2DP, a very important feature for music fans as it allows STEREO Bluetooth transmission to Bluetooth headsets.

Verdict
Steal this mobile (Sony Ericsson K550i) if you can (pun intended), but those looking for similar features at an even tighter budget look for Samsung J210 as it has all the features of this phone but pricewise comes 20% cheaper.

I have this phone about year and I liked so much. The battery is great (it's not like 6500 classic) it is standby about a week when I used it little,but when I used it a lot of it is standby about 4-5 days. This a perfect phone for everythig,like: games,speaking,foto and a lot of what it makes.

i bought a k550 last week n just loving it. pretty amazed about its sound quality with the headphone considering it is not a walkman series phone..still having some trouble with the key pad, but iam sure will get use to it soon.but the think thats worries me is the poor battery life. have to charge everyday and iam not a heavy user. all around it is a very good phone for the price...thats my conclusion ;-)
